Tea Tree Essential Oil powerfully cleanses and protects, supporting problematic skin and the body's natural immunity. Additionally, it has antimicrobial and respiratory effects, making it suitable for seasonal aromatherapy, inhalations, and daily skincare.
Tea Tree Organic Essential Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Organic Tea Tree Oil from Australia – terpinene-4-ol 43.7%
Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil (tea tree oil) is one of the most versatile oils in aromatherapy – valued for its broad spectrum of action and exceptional effectiveness. Steam-distilled from the leaves and young branches of Melaleuca alternifolia, organically grown on Australian plantations, it features a fresh, herbal, and slightly camphoraceous aroma of medium intensity. Its main active ingredient is terpinene-4-ol (as much as 43.7%), responsible for strong antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. The high content of γ-terpinene (25.5%) and α-terpinene (12.1%) further supports its cleansing and immune-boosting effects.
Thanks to its balanced composition of chemical compounds, this oil is an effective support for problematic skin care, respiratory infections, and seasonal home prophylaxis.
